Nightly I hear your affection
Strung between us by wire
Satellites and stars
Distant warming hearts
On beaches
In backyards
The sofa and the stereo
Drums and wires
Songs and desires
We talk of mothers
Of peace and passion
Sympathy and anger
The future
And the past
Sports and weather
All together
It makes us
Sometimes I think we're dancing
Purposefully apart
Sensitive
Yet too tentative
I want to reach through the air
Lay my cheek against you
But you are there
And were I to breach
The spaces between friends
I am too fearful
That is where it ends
